Motorcore: Discover the Trend on Wheels

With its roots on the road, motorcore was born from a love of motorcycles and the lifestyle associated with motorcycling. The aesthetic inspired by the rebellion and freedom often felt by those who love the open road has become a fashion trend seen on streets and runways.

Initially, motorcore was directly associated with elements of punk and rock n' roll aesthetics, such as leather jackets, motorcycle-print t-shirts, sturdy shoes, and robust clothing in general. The clothing was primarily functional and practical to ensure riders' comfort.

Over time, motorcore began to absorb more elements that evoked a rebellious aesthetic, but also blended with fashionistas' personal styles. The style was then adopted by people who simply liked the elements, without necessarily having a connection to motorcycles.

Thus, the style evolved, and major brands like Balenciaga began to incorporate and even deconstruct motorcore elements into their collections, often merging streetwear with the robust and daring aesthetic of motorcycling. And so, just as other styles and trends were born from functionality and became aesthetics embraced by street fashion, motorcore became a style that evokes the freedom and personality associated with motorcycling but goes beyond the universe from which it originated.
